how things work in the real world

Saw this today on a field naturalist website....

An interesting process.... take picture with dslr.... take cell phone picture of dslr lcd..... post on the web asking for id....

I keep wondering why DSLR's don't have a wifi app so that the user can transfer a picture over, do a quick edit, and then use it....

For the purposes of identifying this critter, perhaps this was the easiest and quickest way for the person?

The image should be good enough

I thought it was a wonderful solution to the problem

BTY, it looks like a Slaty Skimmer

I pop a eye-fi pro card in the SD slot of my 5D MK III, and save raws to the CF card and jpegs to the SD card. They automatically upload to wherever I specify.

However, with my G1X II, I have a choice, PC, tablet / phone, facebook, twitter, etc. Its just klunky to setup initially.

I think that Canon could put wifi in a 5 series just fine, if a eye-fi card works well, I don't buy their metal body excuse, they could just put a eye-fi card inside, if they don't know how to make their Wi-Fi work

They know how to make it work with the WFT-E7A, for a mere $700. :

I do that with the 6D all the time. Take pics of kid at soccer, connect via wi-fi to my iphone, disconnect wi-fi, upload pics to facebook. Do the same with my wife's SX280HS as well. No eye-fi needed.

^ I do that from time to time too. It becomes easier once you get used to the process. But yeah, I would also want a streamlined way for the whole process.

I'm surprised why Canon hasn't polished their EOS Remote app yet as it has good potential.
